I am glad to see that one of us is perfect everytime. I myself have not made referance to hiting a shoulder blade. However if you have never made a marginal shot then you are better than almost all of us. I beleive that the referance was probably made" in the event of" hitting the blade in a marginal shot. I have made a marginal shot before , and yes I drove through the paddle bone. And I also feel that if I didn't have a good penetrating head with good KE, the animal would have been no more than coyote food. I beleive that this thread is just trying to stir up more trouble and is very dirogotory to those that made this reference. It is also showing the less experienced hunters that any old broadhead will do. The animals deserve a quick clean kill. And your comments are only going against the beleifs of those who are taking the time to do it in their best possible way. One of the other moderators should lock this down.
